CV

Anthony Rowe was born in Bristol in 1945. He studied painting at the West of England Academy of Art. From Art School he went into the theatre, starting work as a Scenic Artist for the Bristol Old Vic Company. He soon became a Theatre Designer and worked for some time as Head of Design for the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. In 1996 he moved to Stratford-upon-Avon to join the Royal Shakespeare Company as Design Co-ordinator. In 2003 he started painting full time.

Anthony has been painting for over forty years, working in acrylic, gouache and watercolour. Over the last fifteen he has worked almost exclusively in oil. Inspired by the effect of strong light and shadows on the subject, he has painted many architectural studies as well as still life and marine subjects. His work has been influenced over the last few years by frequent visits to Italy and in his paintings he tries to capture the unique atmosphere of the country.
